Gathering the Quilts

With our quilt exhibition coming up fast, there were a few last minute things to do. My quilt was finished – check. The hanging sleeve was stitched on – check. And the label – check. I had provided a length of timber batten to hang it on, with my name written on – check. And last but not least, a bag (named as well) to put the rolled up quilt plus the length of timer – check. I’m all set to deliver my entry. I’m not saying what it is, but there is plenty of pink in it!

Ready to deliver my quilt

There was a steady stream of people arriving at Pauline’s house today, all excitedly carrying a quilt or two through the door. They all went into spare bedroom, where they were ticked off the list, numbered, and photographed.

The Exhibition Committee of Joyce, Linda and Pauline have been busy for months getting all the details sorted out for the exhibition. And they are certainly working hard today, receiving all the quilts.
